It's Summertime!

Enjoy your family this summer!  I will be back when school resumes.  Until then, check the Acorn's facebook page for up to date events and activities.  I have a full summer events calendar for you below plus a list of things to do.  Don't forget to see the Nutty Fun page, too, for more places to visit around town.  

Warmly,
